The winner, in a neck and neck contest, was “decorating with art, photos, or other unique accessories” which barely beat out “adding cozy touches like candles and throw blankets.”

Our Favorite Comments:
“We focus on making it better for our cats. Shelves, cat trees and other ways for them to climb up high. We include some of the above, but nothing breakable, obviously.”
“All of the above. I switch out pillows and throws depending on the season. Having a neutral decor allows me to change colors with the seasons. I use canvases of photos I’ve taken on our travels. Brings back great memories as well as refreshing the house. ”
“All of the above!”
While we can’t publish them all, we do read and appreciate every comment. Some comments are edited to make room for more contributions.

Longevity Tip of the Day
Get a friend with four legs — A few studies on the link between pet ownership and health have found that owning a pet can reduce anxiety, lower blood pressure, even improve the odds of surviving a heart attack. Now the American Heart Association has weighed in with a report published in the journal Circulation that recommends owning a dog, in particular, for those seeking to reduce their risk of deadly heart disease. Dog owners are more likely to be physically active and are also less vulnerable to the effects of stress, the report says.
Slang Phrase of the Day
Phrase: “No cap”
Meaning: Totally true or no lie
